York Minster

Transcendence

Published Friday 28th September 2007 by Alix Peacock

Visions, run by St Michael le Belfrey Church are joining together for an innovative service entitled Transcendence to be held at the Minster at 8pm on Sunday 7th October 2007 and Sunday 4th November 2007.  Transcendence – An Ancient Future Mass will bring together different styles of worship for a Multimedia Eucharist in the Eastern Crypt of York Minster.

The service will include ambient music, chant, movement and symbol and is described as “a spirituality of worship for the contemporary age”.  The Visions services, usually held in St Cuthbert’s Church were held at the Minster during December 2006 to February 2007 while the roof of St Cuthbert’s was repaired.  Transcendence will now bring York Minster and the Visions service together again – bridging the gap between traditional cathedral worship and the multimedia Visions worship.

The Revd Canon Jeremy Fletcher, Canon Precentor at York Minster said "I am very excited about the combination of the Minster's ancient setting and the use of contemporary media in worship, and look forward to welcoming people to a service which will be inspirational and challenging".

All are welcome to attend the service.  For further information or if you would like to be involved with the services please contact Sue Wallace of Visions, sue@visions-york.org or The Revd Canon Jeremy Fletcher precentor@yorkminster.org.
